Continue to Step 1.Steps 1 - Create a DigitalOcean Droplet running Ubuntu 22.04A DigitalOcean Droplet is a virtual server you can rent by the hour, like a tiny computer in the cloud. It comes with pre-configured essentials ready to run your code projects in seconds.Follow the steps to install Ubuntu 22.04 on a DigitalOcean Droplet with the necessary configuration:Create a New DropletClick the "Create" button in the top right corner of the DigitalOcean dashboard. Select "Droplets" from the dropdown menu.Choose Region / DatacenterSelect the datacenter region closest to your physical location for optimal performance. Any region will work for you.Choose Ubuntu 22.04In the "Choose an image" section, select "Ubuntu 22.04 LTS" as the operating system.Select Droplet Plan / CPU optionUnder "Choose a plan", select the "Basic" plan with 4 GB RAM, 2 vCPUs, 120G NVMe SSDs and click "Select".Choose Authentication MethodSelect the SSH key you already uploaded to DigitalOcean or Click “New SSH Key” to create a new one if you don’t have any.Create the DropletOnce you selected all the above, click the button “Create Droplet” and wait for a few seconds.Get your Droplet IPOnce your droplet is created. Copy the IP address next to the title of your droplet.Congratulations! You have successfully installed Ubuntu 22.04 on your DigitalOcean Droplet. The droplet has 4 GB RAM, 2 vCPUs, and 120G NVMe SSDs which is sufficient enough to run the Bitcoin Core.Let’s proceed to the next step: install the necessary Bitcoin dependencies.Step 2 - Install the necessary Bitcoin Unix dependenciesTo build the Bitcoin Core, we will need to install the build dependencies. There are about 21 major dependencies to install. Technically, not all are required depending on your specific build option. However, since this is your first time, it makes sense to install all major dependencies.Let’s get to it.Connect to Your DigitalOcean DropletUse SSH to connect to your Droplet. You will need your droplet IP to connect via any SSH client (Putty or Terminal on Windows/macOS/Linux). You can also use Git Bash.Run the command below in your Terminal:ssh username@your_droplet_ipDon't forget to replace the text your_droplet_ip with your actual Droplet IP address.For
